Another new member joins the club (and boosts the Somerset contingent ) I’ve been on the forum for a couple of months, firstly as a voyeur and recently as a full member. I found my car on here, which I collected on Saturday (more below) Firstly though I have to say that my initial findings of the club are a revelation from my former kit car ownership experiences. There is a wealth of information; the website/forum is easy to use and clearly has been well invested in and maintained; the club magazine is as good as a shop bought publication; and the help of other members/committee has already proved invaluable. I hope to be able to contribute in my own small way; and so to start (as I know you all like them) some pictures from my first journey, the trip back from Shropshire – we took the scenic route over eight hours! Loving the car and hope to meet up with some of you soon. Dave

Yes I have build manuals and some sketches mostly electrical and a dvd with pictures saved on pictures along shortly I can’t wait

A snap from this week.... ...picking up my (first) Westy on Saturday, garage prepared with bigger work bench, fluorescent lighting, laminate floor and worked out how to get everything either under the bench or off the ground level. Can't wait to start work on it!

Giving the ali a polish today, going to be afraid to go near it once the painted GRP is back on!

Smart attire, DJs not obligatory, But Drivers and their partners are to wear a significant splash of colour appropriate to their Westfield . . .

Howdy, Results for 3 sisters have been posted ..... just as aside, why is it called "3 sisters", is it a family run event or something? Anyhooo, I digress. them 3 girls is posted on the link below. 3 Sisters (R31) results Tiggs

Great looking car and a lovely colour too, enjoy every moment

Glad to see someone else playing in my backyard. The gorge is a great place for a drive in a Westfield. Enjoy

from Norfolk! I can see why you chose the name HappyDave, that's a lovely looking car. I'd be happy too! Have fun.

Smart looking car, glad you're enjoying it. Hope you have many happy miles on your Westfield journey.

That's a mighty smart car, and I had to smile at myself looking at the smile on your face!

3 sisters is the polite form of 3 slag heaps from the mining days

Thanks Dave.. Arrived and fitted

I'll be there too, but only by the skin of my teeth. Talk about a late entry Tiggs

Hey all, Well when I say all I mean the 7 people who entered this event, it's highly unlikely anybody else will be interested Results for Aintree have been posted on the link below, any problems, give me a shout ........ I may not hear you as I'll be in the garage though. Aintree (R30) Results Tiggs

I'll be at the Glover Arms lunch on 2nd December. I could do the Strathfillan Wigwams event on the last weekend in June, but I note Rab's post about it being 21st to 23rd. I'm unlikely to be able to do that weekend. I'm intending to do Brad's Navigation Run in August. Cheers, Brian

I will pass on the run and meet you at the Sweaty Arms

Im hoping to be there

OK folks, we've left it longer than is perhaps fair on Phil, but you always have your fingers crossed for a few last minute changes of mind. I'm afraid we just don't have the numbers, especially if you take Ian and I out of the equation, to run this event at this time. So, rather than trying to run it either later in the month, with potential for even more unpredictable weather, or next month, when it could be worse, we will postpone the dyno and weigh day till spring. (In truth, we were planning on another then, anyway, if this went OK, so that you could measure before and after the Winter tinkering season, but Cest la vie!) So, just to be sure, this weekends event is cancelled, and will be rescheduled for spring 2019!

If you replace the washing machine with a beer fridge it would be perfect...

Simon - I have emailed Roz to notify your wish to converse! Steve @Titch

...and the full length mirror is a bit dodgy!

That is an obscenely tidy and clean garage! Do you not realise that the floor should be sticky with congealed oil, the walls daubed with notes of oil change mileages, the roof festooned with cobwebs of unknown vintage, and the corners running with giant spiders? If my Good Lady were to see that picture I'd would be nagged into putting up shelves, sweeping leaves out, and painting the walls of my garage! Shame on you sir! You have queered the pitch for us all!

It’s a heritage event!

Gary, can I just remind everyone that it's usually the third weekend in June that we traditionally go to Applecross and this would be the weekend that we would still use for Strathfillan Wigwams! This would make it Fri 21st - Sun 23rd June 2019.

It's definitely something I would be interested in, in the future.

I will be there this month. I will probably just meet you guys at the Swettenham Arms. Have fun.

As for space, build a wooden trolley at a height to suit you and fit heavy duty castors. That way you can move the whole Shabang forwards/backwards/sideways easily in your confined garage.

I did the same with my horn button, the yellow one. Making the car your own is what kit cars are all about.

I’ll be there.

I'll be there

Thanks guys, I'll see about the 710 ecu, that sounds like it might be the way forward. I have absolutely no idea where to start with mapping an ecu, so if I can get one from omex that will do the job and allow me to have a digital display then I like the sound of that! I'm sure I'll find a buyer for the S2000 ecu. And yes its very exciting knowing that the engine is on its way. It looks lile it is in good shape and that all the important bits are there.

I’m in

Bingo, i will be there. Anyone fancy a little blat beforehand after the lodge. I can't make before as I have to take my boy to swimming.

I have a soft bits for sevens half hood to suit an RAC bar to windscreen, with the plastic channel, going surplus to requirements. I only used it twice but it's a fantastic bit of kit. Comes with the waterproof bag that attaches to the roll bar too. If you're interested, make me an offer. Cheers, Barny. EDIT - NOW SOLD.

Here's a few phone pics from my passenger: Leaving home: How nice of Ashbourne to put the buntings out for us! A tricky pass! The open road at last! Keep ya hair on!

It was, but I'm going to be in therapy for a very long time! Look what's happened to my profile pic too

For future reference Aerodynamix have a mould to make composite ones too

Can’t make this gents, will be looking after kids as Jo is away! (Oscar rugby training clash too) Sorry, a good run out would’ve been great. Andy
